NATO Chief Scheduled To Visit Bosnia Next Month

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will pay his first official visit to Bosnia-Herzegovina on November 19, the Bosnian Foreign Ministry confirmed to RFE/RL on October 25. Stoltenberg is scheduled to meet with Bosnian officials on November 20, the ministry said, but it did not release details about the reasons for his visit. NATO invited Bosnia to join the Membership Action Plan in 2010 -- a first step toward admission to NATO, but one that does not prejudge any decision on future membership. Stoltenberg has said that Bosnia -- along with Georgia and Moldova -- are among the countries that deserve NATO's special attention. To read the full story on RFE/RL's Balkan Service, click here.
